Manufacturers of all types from apparel to pharmaceuticals and high tech to machinery suppliers require shipping and freight logistics to bring their products to market and use all modes of transportation – light freight (UPS and FedEx parcels), heavy freight (full truckload, less-than-truckload), containerized overseas and air cargo. Some transportation companies themselves rely on final segment delivery using UPS and FedEx distribution networks while most fulfillment houses, media (printing and publishing) companies, medical/dental labs (blood and tissue samples; prosthodontia and cosmetic devices) and retailers (customer service returns, catalogue and store orders) manage carriers’ route, load, rate and surcharge complexities.
Our partner offers clients help with carrier contract negotiations, freight bill payment and audit services, supply chain optimization, logistical advice and much more.
